Kentucky @ Auburn Game Thread.

[JFCats22]

This UK team will be on the bubble on selection Sunday.

These guys just don't have that will to fight and win, too many dumb mistakes towards the end...shot clock violation out of a timeout and inbounding violation.

Ulis and Willis played well, but Ulis can't do it all himself.

If you didn't see the will to fight, I'm not sure what to tell you. I would agree with the dumb mistakes. Dumb shots. Silly fouls. Probably looking at another 10 losses or more but if they improve, can still make a run. There is talent.

Really need more post play. Willis did the job. Instead of pouting, others have to step up like he did. AP got hurt but Lee was a near no show. Skal's making progress but we need more.

Where was Briscoe in the 2nd half? Hawkin's is a bad loss. Lots of room for improvement.

I came here just now to respond by saying, "When does the NIT comments start coming out?"

Honestly, i think my starting 5 would be Ulis,Murray, Willis, Poythrees and Skal even though hes dissapointed. Lee and Briscoe need some kind of motivation and maybe that comes from off the bench?

Undisciplined game.

This game, win or lose, is the embodiment of why I have just not cared if I watch or don't watch this team.

Seriously? Pretty dramatic. I certainly don't feel that way.

[ukwebfan]

Ridiculous statement. Two, maybe three were crazy shots. The other 10 plus the terrible play of UK is why they lost.

Making excuses for a loss like this is ignorant.

LSU, UCLA are one thing...this is totally different (and pathetic).

It is different. We fought hard but not smart. Lost by 5 but yes there were things today that if they go our way, we win. A couple loose balls. A few fouls. A few AU threes stay out or a couple UK threes fall in.

Defense and post play are a work in progress and will keep things close until corrected. Not an excuse, fact.

That's a firm bandwagon fan. But the Internet was made for drama.

No drama. It's just clinical diagnosis. This team just is what it is.

that is a long way off......still time to get it done.....I remember the 2011 team and all their road losses

[Pobilly]

I stayed away today and the last games as much as I can. I love it here but this team makes me so negative. I get tired of being that negative. What Can I SAY................... this team continues to figure out ways to lose a game.

The main thing is that we have Ulis that has the will and the knowledge, we have Murray that at times does not think he has a teammate on the court. We have Lee that does not want to be in the game by the way he plays, we got Briscoe (possibly more heart than Ulis if that is possible), but second guesses himself on his shots and we got Poythress the 2nd coming of Richard Madison (You can see it in his mannerisms). Skal (very overrated player) (Matthews not ready yet) and then not much else. Hawkins is very missed (KY BOY TRUE AND TRUE) and plays with KENTUCKY PASSION.



This year is a year that we win 20 plus games and bow out early in the NCAA's.

Ulis should come back next year to lead a good team, Lee needs to be back, Willis back , Hawkins back, Briscoe back, Matthews back Mulder Back. Skal needs to come back but will not.

GO BIG BLUE!! Will wait till 16-17 to get excited.

Any wins for me this year will be bonus.. do not mean against bad teams, i mean tourney's .

As you like. You give up pretty easily.

[ralph helm]

All the success the last few years make losses like this tougher to swallow-- even though Auburn played out of their minds-- especially with some of those threes they made!!!

[TrueblueCATfan]

Now this is just crazy......Ulis had more rebounds than Alex....Skal and Marcus combined

[Lighthouse]

When Alex came back after his eye issue,he looked like he had more energy than before, but it sure didn't work out that way.
